Turn your CNC hobby
into a business.
One platform for everything around the machine: clients, jobs, billable time, stock, invoicing, and a fabrication marketplace where customers post the parts they need and fabricators bid. Built in Australia. Designed to get you paid.
Free to post jobs as a buyer + use the desktop apps. No credit card required.
Just here to shop?
Want to buy a CNC machine, parts or a controller?
This website is dedicated to our CNC3D Business software, which is designed for managing and running a CNC-based business. Our CNC3D Store is on our main website.
Takes you straight to our CNC3D Store at cnc3d.com.au.
Run the shop
Clients, jobs, billable time, materials, invoicing. The boring back-office stuff that makes the difference between a side hustle and a paid-out business.
Find the work
Marketplace for fabrication. Buyers post the part they need, you bid. Capability-tag matching surfaces jobs that fit your machines and processes.
Plays with your tools
Built-in integration with CNC3D Commander and the CNC3D Design Suite. Get-quotes button right from inside the design tool. No copy-paste, no PDFs back and forth.
The whole business, in one place.
Stop juggling spreadsheets, three chat apps, and a notebook with sketches in it. CNC3D Business gives you the tools to quote, track, ship and get paid.
Clients & CRM
Track every customer you've quoted, every job you've done, every dollar still outstanding.
Jobs & status
Pipeline from quote to in-production to shipped. Status changes auto-stamp the timeline.
Billable time
Start a timer from inside the Design Suite. Stop it when the job's done. Line item on the invoice.
Stock & materials
Track sheet stock, rod stock, off-cuts. Job consumption deducts inventory automatically.
Invoicing
Send branded invoices in seconds. Customer pays online. Reconciles to the job that earned it.
Marketplace bids
Need someone to make it? Post the part. Want more work? Bid on what other businesses post.
NDAs
Sensitive design? Require a signed NDA before fabricators can see your files.
Escrow payments
We hold the money in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt. Both sides protected.
Desktop integration
Built into Commander and Design Suite. Tray notifications when a matching job lands.
Support that's actually split fairly
Help using CNC3D Business is free for every account, including free ones. Priority Support is the separate paid service for the machine side: Commander, the Design Suite, controllers, and your machines.
The marketplace
Designed something? Find someone to make it for you. Have a machine? Find work that fits.
The CNC3D marketplace connects people who design things with people who can build them. Free to post a job. Free to accept a bid. The bid you accept is the price you pay. Bidding as a fabricator needs a Business or Business Plus subscription, so the people quoting you are running real shops.
Post a job
Free. Describe what you need, attach drawings, gate sensitive files behind an NDA.
Get bids
Fabricators with matching machines quote you, with price, lead time and a message. You chat per-bid.
Accept & ship
50% deposit to Stripe escrow on accept. Fabricator builds. Release the rest when parts arrive.
Three tiers. Start free.
Free to post jobs as a buyer. $50/mo solo shop with stock, jobs and marketplace browse + bidding. $150/mo for shops with staff (timesheets, multi-user, equipment, full back-office).
All prices in Australian dollars (AUD).
